Key Point on Machininga Tool life is generally short due to the high strength of the carbon fibres, and

also due to the fact that delamination and burrs develop easily. Therefore the DFC end mill range employs a CVD diamond coating and a cutting edge geometry that prevents these problems and prolongs tool life.

Application Examplea The combination of the CVD coating and the

cutting edge prevents problems relating to burrs and delamination.

AIR FRAMEWork Materials [Aluminium Alloy]

Key Point on Machininga Machining of these kinds of components means machining from block,

whereas much as 90% of the material needs to be removed. As such it is necessary to carry this out as fast and efficiently as possible. The AXD series uses inserts that have a suitable relief that results in lower cutting resistance. Also a convex cutting edge is used to improve the overall chip disposal. The combination of which result in the tool to be able to be used for high speed and high efficiency machining.

Application Examplea Metal removal rate of 10,000cm3/min can be

achieved when using the AXD7000-HSK.

Avoids poor wall surface finishes because the tool is designed to interpolate corners of the pocket, thereby also preventing vibration.

Key Point on Machininga When machining materials such as titanium alloys cutting resistance varies

and as such the chips generated are saw-tooth type. This can result in chipping of the cutting edge when high feed roughing applications. To prevent this kind of problem from occurring the JL breaker, that has a sharp cutting edge to reduce overall cutting resistance and a newly developed multi-layered coating, MP9130 is employed. This combination leads to the ability for stable high feed roughing applications.

Application Examplea Possible to achieve 1.5 times longer tool life due

the reduced cutting edge chipping.

Key Point on Machininga For the engine casing there are applications that require hole making on the

outside of the casing it is possible to use helical drilling to machine these holes. Additionally application may include profile milling.

Application Examplea By using a small diameter radius end mill it is

possible to machine large diameter holes via helical machining.

Multifunctional

Further use is possible because of small wear. (after 7 min. machining)

Ni based difficult-to-cut heat resistant alloys such as Inconel® 718 soften at temperatures exceeding 800ºC. At these temperatures, difficult-to-cut materials become easier to machine because their bearing and tensile strengths are lowered.Ceramic end mills can work effectively at these high temperatures and self generate the heat required to soften the machined material through ultra-high feeds and speeds.

Key Point on Machininga The key is how to cool the cutting edge when drilling Ni-based alloys.

It is possible to extend tool life greatly by using a solid carbide drill that employs TRI-Cooling through coolant technology with a high-pressure coolant supply.

Application Examplea 15 times longer tool life is achieved when applying high-

pressure internal coolant and TRI-cooling technology.

Key Point on Machininga Titanium-aluminium alloy has low thermal conductivity and tends to

concentrate heat on the cutting edge and moreover scratches can occur easily on the cutting surface when cutting Titanium-aluminium alloy. Therefore, it is important to remove heat on the cutting edge efficiently and to evacuate chips smoothly. The Smart Miracle end mills series with an optimum balance of sharpness and smoothness of the coating layer due to Mitsubishi original smoothening treatment enables stable cutting.

Application Examplea Smoothening treatment of the coating layer

reduces cutting resistance and improves tool life.End mill VQMHVRBD1200R100Work Material Titanium-aluminium AlloyCutting Speed vc60 m/min (n1592 min-1)Feed fz0.08 mm/tooth (vf509 mm/min)Depth of Cut ap 2 mm, ae 1 mmCoolant Emulsion
